Celebrating 65 years of love

True love never dies, it only gets stronger with time.

That is the sentiment of an Amherstview couple who are celebrating their 65th wedding anniversary tomorrow.

Hans and Aaltje Beskers were married on July 14, 1955 in the Netherlands. After travelling around the world for work, the family moved to Amherstview in 1967.

65 years later after saying ‘I do’, Hans and Aaltje remain devoted to each other. Their marriage has produced three children and four grandchildren.

Speaking on behalf of Helen Henderson Care Centre where Hans resides in the retirement lodge and Aaltje lives in the nursing home, Administrator Lisa Gibson notes, “It is amazing to see a long-lasting love story like Hans and Aaltje’s. It is definitely something to celebrate and strive-for.”

“It’s nice to see a couple so much in love,” adds Chelsea Boomhour, an Activity Aide who helped the couple write love letters to each other which they will receive tomorrow through staff. Because of COVID-19 restrictions, the couple is not able to cross through the home and meet in person.

In her card to Hans, Aaltje says her life is better because of him.

In his card to Aaltje, Hans says that even if it takes a year, he will always wait for her. Hans told his wife he misses her.

Home names Resident of the Year

Betty Reed is happiest when she is helping others.

Born and raised in Elgin, the 71-year-old has lived her entire life in the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville. She raised her family on a beef farm near Delta and worked at Maple View Lodge in Athens for 23 years. A sore back prompted her to retire at 65 from the job she loved.

A loving mother and grandmother, Betty arrived at Carveth Care Centre in March 2019. In a short amount of time, she made a big impact in the home.

Almost one-year after arriving, she was named the home’s Resident of the Year.

Smiling brightly, Betty admits her day was greatly improved when she was informed of the award.

“I think everyone should be Resident of the Year,” she says kindly. “I just love the residents and I feel like I want to help them. I do not judge them by their sickness. They are who they are.”

Described as a friendly soul, staff say her quiet compassion and empathy for others is always evident.
